I'm selling my eggs now and I have alot of questions If it were just for me I wouldn't bother asking but since I am selling them it gets tricky I know about not washing the bloom off. The problem is people are all different. my next door neighbor wants to know that the bloom has not been washed off and others think its gross Does it really matter since they are much fresher than store bought? What do you use to wash the eggs, washcloth or brush? are the brown spots supposed to come off? (what are those brown spots anyway?) Does it make a difference if you use cold or warm water (in the case of hard to peel boiled eggs)? I have alot of questions I know thanks for putting up with me Pat
Use warm water because cold water will cause the egg's pores to contract and hot water will cook them. You can buff the eggs with food-grade mineral oil afterwards if you like, to protect them. JSYK, I rarely wash my eggs since i don't sell them. I just keep my nest boxes very clean.
